Raining Cats and Dogs.....

"Rain, rain go away, come again another day".........

We have been literally deluged with rain, for the past three days and nights. Water, water everywhere.

The Spring rains have certainly stood up to their legacy this year,

wonderful for all those new seedlings,

not so good, if the fields are now standing ankle deep in water.

I puddle up the neighborhood

I make the postman mad

I wake the worm and spank the frog

Sleeping on his lily pad

And when the tulips in their beds

Nod happily, it's true,

I shake the petals of their hands

And say, How do you dew?
